About Mr. Tie-Dye
This is My Story...
I consider myself a helper! Ever since I was a kid, I have enjoyed helping people - mowing yards, planting gardens, raking leaves, fixing cars and other things. A lot of this 'helping' came at the request of my Dad, who is a bit of a 'tinkerer'. He likes working with his hands and fixing things...and so do I.
We lived in the country growing up, and there was always a project to do. I grew up learning to tend a garden, build things, paint, work on cars and houses, prune fruit trees, raise honeybees and much more. I tagged along with my Dad on the projects he did around the house. I started as just another set of hands, but before long, I picked up varied skills, found a desire to try new things and all along the way learned the value of hard work.
The only "handyman" I knew back then was "Handyman Negri" on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. It was so cool to me that a 'mr.fixit' loved and could play music! (Joe Negri is still a cool guy and I credit him, through his coordination of the music on the Mr. Rogers show, for kindling my love of jazz music.)
I have always enjoyed working on my own house to continue to make it feel like the home that I want. I'm naturally curious and like to learn how things work. I love 'the details' of a project, and focus diligently on doing what's right and doing it to the best of my ability. I have learned over time, if something is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
Growing up in church and coming from a family of pastors, missionaries, and lifelong Christians taught me the importance of honesty and respect. I do my best to teach those values to my 7 kids.
Why "Tie-Dye?"
The answer is simple - I like Tie-Dye patterns...always have. Perhaps it's the influence of the 60's in my family or maybe just because I love color - something about the unique shapes and shades of color bring me joy. I like to say the designs represent my disposition: colorful, positive, sunny and warm - a down-to-earth personality with a fun side. I start every day and project with a prayer and positivity - Every Day can be a Great Day with the right attitude and hard work!
Outside of my faith, my family is a source of strength and joy. I love kids and whenever I'm not working, you'll likely find me spending time with my wife and family - camping, playing a sport or a board game, watching and making movies, playing in the dirt, traveling and just enjoying life together.
